Harrison Ford would often show up on set hungover, and would frequently throw up inside the hollow part of R2D2 because he thought it was funny (much to the dismay of Kenny Baker, who had to actually get inside the R2 unit)

lucas did NOT plan out the entire series ahead of time it was all written by the seat of his pants

and he barely wrote empire strikes back or return of the jedi he gave a extrema rough draft to the actual writer

he did write the PT thoe and wrote each film just before they started shooting it was a mess and the people working with him hated it do to his inability to plan

The opening text crawl of the original Star Wars did not use any computer graphics whatsoever. It was 100% a physical camera and a real scroll of text shot in a very clever and creative way.

Remasters changed this, replacing that scene with a 100% Computer Generated version.

and they still removed puppet yoda later.

it was pretty out of place but re-watching on disney was a little bummed to see they had changed him.
